Preservation at Work: Stubbs Ranch
Marin's only organic vineyard produces celebrated Pinot Noir, Chardonnay wines
Perched near the top of a hill overlooking the Petaluma valley, Stubbs Ranch has been protected since 1986 by one of MALT's earliest conservation easements. Instead of ranchettes and subdivisions, this property is home to Marin's only certified organic and "off the grid" vineyard, Stubbs Vineyard. To learn more about Stubbs Ranch and the highly-acclaimed wine grapes produced there, click here. Taste for yourself why Stubbs Vineyard's wines are featured at some of the Bay Area's best restaurants at the Marin County Wine Celebration at Escalle Winery.
